8 months??

Wow, I have not blogged for 8 months!!! I have not been sewing for part of that, but that is no excuse. So here we go. Tractor pulling season is over and I am stitching away furiously. I have really tried to keep to the list. I make a list, usually at the very beginning of the year, of the sewing projects I am working away at. It helps me keep focus. I have a problem of starting projects but not finishing them.

So I have decided to start 3 projects!!! Must be that I am trying to get them all started before the new list comes!! I have been sick with the flu twice in 2 weeks, so I have only been hand sewing.

So have you missed me?? Does anyone really read this? LOL

I finished my Halloween project. I really did not care if it was done on time, but when I flipped the calendar to December I decided it was time. My friend Shell at Red Quilts posted this in WQG group and I thought it was too cute. I also made it with my friend Joyce who is just learning all about wool!! She finished hers in days.

I bought one of Connecting Threads kits. Enough fabric to make 4. I did get this done before the season was over!! It had a ton of hand work also but was fun. I call it the button eater!!

Completing 2 projects give me permission to start another, RIGHT?????

I started a project that I did blog about before renamed by me as "A whole lot of crazy" Truponto'd applique blocks that are quilted as a block.

I also started a wool project. It is a 7 month block of the month. I reminded hat Janet M told me about french knots today. Going to learn the stem stitch tomm. Pictures later
Then tonight I decided to do the new Leah Day Skill builder block of the month. Going to go look for fabric now :P
Until the next stitch!!
